About the Item

This large pair of antique putti sculptures were crafted in Italy, circa 1760. Both of the Classic figures are hand carved and feature their original paint finish.

A putto (plurial putti), is a figure in a work of art that's a chubby, male child usually naked and sometimes winged. A putto is often called a cherub, or a cherubic infant. Measures: 20.5" W x 7.5" D x 34" H.
